It’s been a good few days for Taylor Swift after the release of her critically acclaimed sixth album Reputation – but it was a bad night at the 2017 MTV EMAs as she went home empty-handed.

The singer was nominated for five awards – Best Artist, Best Look, Best Pop, Best Video and Biggest Fans – but didn’t pick up a single gong, losing out to Shawn Mendes who was the big winner of the night.

Canadian singer-songwriter Mendes cleaned up with awards for Best Artist and Best Song, while Camila Cabello won Best Pop Act, Coldplay won Best Rock Band, and Best Look went on Zayn.

Global Icons went to U2, who performed their spin on a Stormzy track live at the ceremony, which took place at Wembley Arena.

In terms of live performances, British grime artist Stormzy, One Directioner Liam Payne and Rita Ora waved the flag for the UK, and other big-hitting acts included Eminem, Shawn Mendes, The Killers and Cabello.
